Thanks. There could be a connection but our belief that the line came down through Virginia to North Carolina. But some of them could have branched out into what is now West Va, and probably did. But I think mine were probably in NC before your granddad's time. On one side a Melinda Wilson was born in 1810, I think in NC. I think. Would have to look up the other side, but I think it's more recent. I can't find Cages Bend, TN in my Inadequate Atlas. Is it close to KY or NC? I knew an Ed Wilson, we called him Eddie. He was married briefly to my youngest aunt. This would have been during the 1930s.
